Re: 3.1 Build error on Solaris 9 w/ Sun CC v5.8

[Mark Reis]

Oh, I'm not sure if this would be worthy of the build notes - if you
compile in libnsl statically on Solaris 9, bash will segfault when you
try to run it on Solaris 10 with:

# exec bash
ld.so.1: bash: fatal: relocation error: file bash: symbol
_register_forkhandler: referenced symbol not found

If I changed the recommended make statement to:

make STATIC_LD= LOCAL_LIBS='-B dynamic -R/usr/lib -lnsl -ldl -B static'.

It works on both Sol 9 and Sol 10 now.

Cheers,
Mark
